Jailed Birmingham City owner Carson Yeung has moved once more to force an emergency general meeting of the club’s parent company and reiterated his determination not to sell the Championship outfit.

Earlier in what has been a contentious week at Birmingham International Holdings Ltd Yeung, who is currently serving a six-year sentence for money-laundering, had filed a writ to prevent the sale he feared would follow after the appointment of receivers Ernst and Young.

And he has followed that up with an announcement published in Hong Kong-based newspaper The Standard in which he calls for an EGM on March 12 when he will attempt to oust the directors who tried to wrest control of the holding company from him.

If he succeeds he will have won the long-running power struggle and have sympathetic directors in charge in Hong Kong who will have the control to hire and fire at Birmingham City.

He also expressed objections to the appointment of receivers on the grounds the football club ‘may be affected detrimentally since penalties may be imposed by the UK Football Association and/or Football League’, namely the deduction of ten points for an act of insolvency.

And Yeung also made clear his concern that the appointment of receivers is the first step in what would eventually result in the sale of the Company’s principal asset, namely its interests in the Football Club.

The news will dismay some who had viewed the appointment of Ernst and Young as a significant move to seeing Blues sold and disentangled from a saga that threatens to undermine the good work done by manager Gary Rowett.
